I spent 3 weeks in Japan and made it out without being Kancho'd once!

Japan is a beautiful country full of activities. If you're looking for great outdoors, friendly people, and a different culture then this is the right place.

Pics from strolling around the central Japan region. Being attacked by ninja mosquitoes at Osaka Castle, climbing the invisible Mt Fuji, and feeling the coolness of tatami in summer heat are all new memorable experiences.

Japan has some of the most friendliest locals I have ever met anywhere in the world.  On our way to Kyoto from Fujiyoshida, we took a bus from Fujiyoshida to Gotemba.  While waiting for our train at the station in Gotemba, an elderly Japanese gentleman walked up to me for a chat.  He…

Welcome to my world...

After our sardines in a can experience yesterday morning, Chris and I opted to take a taxi to the bus terminal this morning because we were honestly a little intimidated as to how we were going to get our luggage onto the JR train if it was going to be that crowded!

i've finally managed to escape the oh-so-fascinating world of hedge fund finance, and am now decadently indulging my long-suppressed wanderlust with 15 months on the road and around the world... *note: apart from the odd review (generally of something not found in your standard guide book), this is really more just a map of my travels than a proper blog, but if you want more information on anywhere i`ve been or what i`ve been up to, send me a message and i`ll see if i can rustle something up.

We stayed at K's Hostel in Kawaguchi.  On the evening of our arrival we decided the weather was good enough to attempt Mount Fuji. Kawaguchi is an hours bus ride from the 5th station.  We started our climb up Mount Fuji at 7:30pm and as the trail was very busy it took…
